Sokka the 18th - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[So after Katara has had her counseling session (with Sokka naturally following her around and being even more Batman super spy than usual), the two will be heading deep in the forest to search for Zuko. They'll try to raise him a few times on the journals, but are otherwise prepared to stay a few nights in the forest, even packing enough gear to

[Well as they wander deep into the forest they might just hear the loud crack of rapid gunfire. Someone else needed to let off a little steam after hearing about the recent strings of kidnappings.]

[markofthewise]

[Well that's not Zuko, but it catches Sokka interest, because Zuko could be involved. Sokka will be investigation, pressing himself up against a tree as he spies on the source of the shots, trying to make out who it is.]

[Katara, on the other hand, is just pissed off. If this brings her a fight, she welcomes it. She's got her hand on her waterskin and just calls out as she marches towards the sound.]

Hello? Is someone there?

[goldenglasses]

[Voices? Vash wasn't expecting anyone; but he's learning that doesn't matter in Luceti. And is that...] Katara?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will spot Hugo and walk over, with Katara likely hanging back.] Hugo.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara follows, giving him her current best smile as a hello.]

[He's been in the deeper area of the forest for quite some time. He's not doing much of anything -- simply trudging by slowly, occasionally turning his head to check his surroundings as he readjusts his grip on the journal.

Soon after he kicks out with his left leg, feeling the healing burn, then turns around to see the siblings not too far off.]

-- Sokka, Katara?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will see Tormod and head over to at least interrogate him. Katara may or may not hang back for now.] Tormod.

[tatzenkreuz]

[Tormod offers a small wave as he receives Sokka.] What brings you to the forest?

[markofthewise]

We're looking for Zuko.

[And Nash is walking around the forest, examining the trees and occasionally writing something down in a notebook he's carrying. He can hear the siblings approaching, but decides to wait to see how they react before speaking to them.]

[markofthewise]

[Why are all of Sokka's friends in the forest? Still, this is Nash. This is a guy who knows how to find things. Sokka will be approaching him.] Hey Nash.

[superskilled]

[It's not an exclusive forest, you know.]

Greetings! Enjoying the stretch of your legs?

[markofthebrave]

[Katara follows a bit behind Sokka.] Something like that. We're looking for somebody.

[Nash. That name is familiar...] I don't think I've met you in person before.

[As darkness falls, the Watertribe sibs have set up camps between the two lakes. Katara is making dinner from what Sokka packed. It was an unsuccessful day, but even so she's a little too quiet... and so is he.]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will return from setting up their tent and sleeping bags and come to sit next to her by the fire. After a whole day of fruitless searching and sporadic conversation between the two, the silence between the two is almost stifling.]

... I kind of missed doing this.

[markofthebrave]

Doing what? Watching me cook over a camp fire?

[markofthewise]

Well, there's that. But mostly the camping. It's been over three months since I slept outside.
